Indecent Exposure

Exposing genitals, women’s breasts, or anus is considered to be indecent exposure, if the act was committed by a person who knew someone would be alarmed or offended by it. Breastfeeding is specifically excluded from this offense. This crime is a felony if the exposure is to a minor under the age of 15 and a misdemeanor if the exposure is to a person over the age of 15 years of age.

Child Pornography

The distribution, downloading, transporting, selling, purchasing, or possessing of any image, film or depictions of anyone under the age of 18 engaging in a sexual act is a felony.

Failure to Register

If someone has been convicted of a sex offense and does not register themselves as a sex offender or does not verify their registration as required by law is susceptible to be charged with an additional criminal offense.

Prostitution

Engaging in prostitution, whether you hire a prostitute, are a prostitute or a pimp. Depending on the kind of offense of prostitution, this crime could be charged as a felony or misdemeanor.

Sex crimes are charges which are especially serious; many sex offenses do require mandatory imprisonment. These offenses are so serious that there is no statute of limitations at all for many of these. Regardless of the amount of time that has elapsed since the alleged incident, a person could always be charged with such a serious sex offense. In addition, most sex offenses will require the offender to register as a sex offender. Sex offender information is public and can severely limit where the individual is able to live and work.
